The Savio Saga: Why Manchester City’s New Signing Wears ‘Savinho’ on His Shirt
Manchester City fans, buckle up! The Blues have just confirmed the signing of Brazilian winger Savio from sister club Troyes, and it’s safe to say that this 20-year-old sensation is going to be a wild card in Pep Guardiola’s squad. But, have you noticed something peculiar about his jersey? Instead of the expected "Savio," it reads "Savinho." Why the change, you ask?
Well, according to Savio himself, it’s because his national team, Brazil, referred to him as "Savinho" during his debut call-up in March. Moreover, fans in Spain, where he played for Girona, knew him more by his alternate name. So, when he made the switch to Manchester City, he decided to go back to "Savinho" in the hopes that it would bring him good luck.
Savio’s arrival marks an exciting new chapter in Manchester City’s history. With a five-year contract until 2029, the youngster is set to play a significant role in the Blues’ bid for an unprecedented fifth Premier League title. Speaking to the club’s official website, Savio expressed his eagerness to work under Pep Guardiola, one of the greatest coaches of all time, and to test himself against the best players in the world.
Director of Football Txiki Begiristain has also thrown his weight behind the signing, labeling Savinho as an "exciting player" who will be a valuable addition to the squad. "He has a big role to play for Manchester City this season and beyond," he said.
What’s Next for Manchester City?
As Manchester City gears up for the new season, fans are eager to see how Savinho will fit into the team. With his pace, skill, and goal-scoring prowess, he has the potential to become a fan favorite. But, can he deliver on the big stage? Only time will tell.
